<h1>Base64</h1>

<p>
Codename: <strong>base64</strong>

<p>
Marvin is able to import and export Base64 encoded files (RFC 1341).
A binary file is encoded as a multi line ASCII file containing the characters
`a'-`z', `A'-`Z', `0'-`9', `+' and `/'. A line contains no more than 76
characters. 3 input bytes are encoded in the form of 4 ASCII characters.
At the end of the file, there might be one or two `=' characters, for padding.
<p>
At export, the molecule file format is specified as an export option. Example:
<blockquote>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr VALIGN=TOP><td><strong>base64:gzip:sdf</strong></td>
    <td>Exports a base64 encoded gzipped SD file.</td></tr>
</table>
</blockquote>
